Do we bring own pencils on test day?

[C_Chattra]

Or does the test center provide them?

The test center provides them. Good luck!

I had to bring my own to the subject test.  There were about ten spare pencils provided for people who forgot to bring their own.

 

For the general, the place I went to provided them for scratch work.

If you're taking the paper test you should bring your own.  The test centers do provide them (and sharpeners), but they're not always brand new pencils.  Why sit there staring at someones nasty teeth marks on a used pencil when you could have your own nice clean one?

I'm taking computer based test, but will need pencils for quant section.

[MsDarjeeling]

Ahh well if you want to use a pencil for working on your scratch paper then I still recommend you bring your own for the same reason I mentioned before.

[Naon]

You can't bring your own pencils into the room for the computer test, they supply scrap paper (I think it was 4 sheets) and 2 pencils. You can request more if you need it. You will have to put all of your belongings into a locker, if any are available.

Not for comp based. In fact it's considered a violation. Those guys check you harder than the airport dudes. Not even kidding

True story.  I got wanded with a metal detector after using the restroom during the long break.

"Dear test takers, I am sorry to report we were robbed last night and have lost all of our pencils. Looks like you're shit out of luck. Thank you for coming."

That and they made me turn my pockets inside out, take my shoes and socks off. I was starting to get pissed after awhile.
